starfield was a disaster. The way the `console wars` has set up the Them or Us mentality, i.e if you don`t have people who don`t have your system wanting that game, it failed. Those of us not involved in it, saw that the hype was not delivered in any way. Also, my Tsushima is cancelled, and hearing it`s not going to be available in the countries Helldiver`s wasn`t? tf are s0ny doing, too?

At this point, Xbox is getting into that "Disney Star Wars" territory where it doesn't even matter if the next product is good. The majority of their dwindling fanbase has gone through all the stages of grief and moved on to accept that their brand is cooked.

Nintendo doesn't abuse copyright, you're just parroting what you've heard and don't know about. Nintendo sending a cease and desist (which people always pretend happens constantly, when it doesn't) has never resulted in anyone going to court, and is done because of a history Nintendo has with almost being horribly hurt by weird western copyright laws. It should also be noted that Nintendo is the one non-American group you mentioned, and copyright laws are very different in Japan. Steam is not comparable to those others, it's not a game dev, it's not even a console dev excluding the Switch ripoff, but that's Valve, not Steam. But if we're saying one is the other, Valve pulled one of the most terrible embarrassing fumbles in all of gaming history, by fucking up Half Life with ever changing plans about how to continue it and then...not.... You said it yourself, funnily enough, you basically said the big criticism about Valve, "chillin", that's right, they're doing nothing. It's been so long that people only think of them as a game market, and sure, a game market that is hands off is a good thing, but Valve just chillin is not good, it's actually very sad and embarrassing. If you're going to compare Valve as game and console devs, they lose hands down to every other company you mentioned, and many more.

@@gamer597-rx7rc That isn’t really true. There are PC gamers that can’t afford to upgrade too much. I have a friend that still is on Pascal. A GPU from 7 years ago and can still run games fine at 1080p (they don’t plan on upgrading resolution) Also depends on the game. If you’re talking about extremely unoptimized games nowadays, then yes the most cost inefficient way is to upgrade. But with Ryzen staying with the platform vs the people that bought into a Xbox One X and then a Series S and X comes out + paying for Xbox Live every month usually adds up or even Gamepass. Whilst, you buy your parts new or used, assemble the PC and you are able to swap parts to improve performance instead of a full system upgrade or increase storage without paying a huge price premium. While on PC, we can still mod games like FNV, Mass Effect, Witcher, Fallout 3/4, EA’s Battlefront 2. Starfield even has mods to try and make it better. Cyberpunk 2077 mods also are really solid. Most hardware on the PC market is just selling a GTX 1080 TI. Don’t believe me? RTX 2070 Super/RX 5700XT, RTX 3060 TI/RX 6600 and the RTX 4060. These GPUs are too emulate one of the best GPUs in gaming. And the funny part is this, PC allows you to upgrade with the existing platform easier.

To my my opinion the biggest mistake they made was not wanting to be the "dude bro console" anymore, heck former 342 studio head Bonnie Ross stated to the Washington Post in an interview and reaction on the bad reception of the Halo series. That for more than a decade they tried to replace the o. fans with a new modern fanbase, and perceived the o.g. fandom to be a threat to Halo. I never understood why this interview wasnt picked up by the gaming community. Or Matt Booty his words years ago, that Perfect Dark & Fable remakes would be as authentic as possible; but that it would be remakes for a "modern global audience". And that The Coalition would go further with the path they went on (which most fans didnt liked) Gears. I think they already messed up way before the Activision take over.

It's a mixed bag; you're right about the insane cost of living crisis right now globally, but that alone doesn't absolve Microsoft/Xbox from their share of the blame. For example, take Starfield, which was mediocre at best, but cost an absurd amount of money to make. One could very easily argue that had Starfield simply been a "better" game, and had avoided Game Pass, its sales would've been substantially better. No one would really disagree with this notion, because it's true. Similarly, had they also tapered their budget, the impact of their failure would've also been substantially less painful. Take Persona 3 Reload for example. They cleverly resused assets from Persona 5, and are also reusing assets for their upcoming game Metaphor Refantazio, to heavily save on unnecessary expenses. They also put out an excellent game, that was loved by critics and fans alike, and despite signing a limited time deal on Game Pass, sold over 1 million copies in a few weeks, across all platforms, all at $60. People still spend money on "good" games. And those "good" games still make money, while paying their employees. Xbox just have nothing to write home about. Nintendo also proves this annually.

No studio is releasing 12 games a year as well its physically impossible. A good game takes 2-10 years to make aaa. Bethesda just got ripped to shreds caught because xboxs expected profits are low overall. Why fix and finish Redfall when they have cod $$$ and elderscrolls $$$.

It is about making more money! Xbox wouldn’t be doing day and date with PC if they sold 100 million consoles.

You don’t make a profit on the console, you capture the customer base with it, keep them hooked with the exclusives and make money on all the 3rd party games they buy because they are bought into your platform. Currently, Microsoft is failing to retain any customers because they lack the exclusives to keep them hooked to the platform. It has been like this for about 10 years now. You can afford a few years without exclusives. Not 10

14:50 for that to work, high speed internet would have to be free and unlimited. The tech is there, but the consumer cannot afford the collaterals.

To be honest. Gamepass killed the Xbox console. There is no way Microsoft is paying developers enough to makeup for individual sales. Sure maybe a couple games but overall no way. They should have followed Sony's strategy by investing in the companies they bought, and put out quality exclusives for their console, and then PC release atleast 6 months to a year later. That would have kept Xbox relevant and possibly the best place to game while making Microsoft the money they want.

The entire gaming industry lost its soul when Xbox live market place became a thing and they sold the first dlc. They realized they could gut games in development and sell you the other parts and on top of that put them behind a paywall to even be allowed to purchase. It’s a giant scheme. PS3, Xbox 360, and the Wii in the early part of that cycle was the last good times to own a game console. I’ve been PC gaming since the end of that generation and haven’t looked back.

I genuinely can not fathom how many decisions Microsoft has put in place to make quality of game development irrelevant. I imagine it must be terrible working under Xbox and knowing that no matter how good or popular your game is, it is completely out of your hands if the studio stays around.

Completely wrong about gamepass versus PS Plus. PS Plus outsells it almost two to one. (PS+ is roughly 50 mil and gamepass is roughly 30 mil). I only recently got a PS5 and was absolutely staggered how much PS+ has been stepped up from years ago. You can be completely satisfied with many exclusives and amazing games for literal years with the line up on PS Plus. And I formed this decision after thinking Gamepass was incredible, and it is great. But PS Plus is even better for me

Cloud gaming is never going to be a console or PC level competitor. It's not economical to put thousands of PS5's worth of hardware in every city to get latency to a playable level (and it'll still be awful for competitive games). Bandwidth is expensive too, it's much more economical for them to just have you download the game once to a box that you're paying the power bill for instead of continuously encoding 1080p to 4K video at 60-120 fps at a decent quality level and uploading it to you. For reference, a 1080p Netflix stream uses about 3-4GB per hour, most of their content is only 24-30FPS, and I personally consider the quality bad. Keep in mind that with HDMI 2.1, the cable connecting your console to your TV can send up to 48Gbps with no latency.

I would like to say that "they have failed in basically everything this year" is a great quote from someone that got so hooked to palworld (the 25 million user one) :D nah just kiding

Game Pass is really great cant deny that. Just switched from console to PC gaming and I was utterly shocked at how many of my games AND progress transferred to PC.

The last few console generations, the Xbox was not even a consideration. PlayStation and PC is all you need.

@@gamer597-rx7rc Making assumptions about people you don't know is dumb.

So exclusivity isn't just simply a fuck you to consumers. It actually does help developers ship out a game faster, like Asmon said, by allowing the devs to optimize a game for a singular platform first, gauging the sucess on the limited install base to check if they can feasibly launch on other platforms, and allows for less crunch while minimizing budget expenditure. For instance: Imagine the even more disastrous turn of events for Microsoft if Arkane Houston made Redfall multiplatform instead of just on Xbox/Gamepass. They would have: 1. Spent too many work hours on a game that takes away from other projects 2. Spent money on a game that didn't sell well on its only platform and would have been a bigger money sink if it was other platforms 3. Have to follow up with optimizations for other platforms on an already dying game. In the end it didn't matter cause even on the single ecosystem it still failed, and Arkane Houston got axed A positive example is FF7 Rebirth. The FF7 Remake Trilogy team was able to crank out a sequel to Remake in just 3 years from start to finish DURING Covid because: !. They kept the exact same team of devs who knew the project already 2. Only had to develop for the PS5 initially (and were able to put out two demos that got updates as well as quick post-launch fixes). Even with how much people hate on Square and Sony for only making the games PS5 timed exclusive, they saw how popular the last installment was and instead made the game a 3 month exclusivity this time around because they knew from the word of mouth about how good the game is.

True. Cyberpunk had a disaster start mostly because the company couldn't properly do a PC and consol version. And Microsoft didn't allow them to release the PC version a year before the the consol one.

Yeah, even the director of FF16 said that if they had to focus on more platforms, the game wouldn't even release in 2023. That's also for example, why GTA6 is releasing only on consoles first and then they are optimizing it for PC. Triple-A games are taking more and more time to develop these days.

Also gives us more competition giving us more games. Like who wants less games, coming at a slower rate. Looking at you baldy.

100% no need to buy an xbox, I have a good pc with game pass sub and a ps5 for games that I want to play on there.

Based on the Xbox quote about Hi-Fi Rush's success, I think they may have planned on closing the studio even before the game dropped. Listen to it again with this in mind. 1:38 The fact that the game was shadow dropped could also point in this direction. Why spend marketing budget on a game from a studio you're planning to axe? I wonder what great game Tango wanted to make next that Xbox also didn't believe in.

I hate exclusives, but they're the only thing keeping this big studios in check for quality of a AAA game. 80% of people favorite games have been Sony for a while now like God of war 1 and 2, Spiderman 1 and 2, last of us, ghost of sushi-man, timed exclusives. Having an exclusive is the only incentive of quality standards for these company's. Microsoft thought they could just throw money out of house and call it a day.

@@schikey2076 Elden Ring exists only because because Sony wanted a medieval fantasy game for the ps3 when they saw how well the Elder Scrolls games did on the xbox and xbox 360. Sony asked Fromsoftware games to create a medieval fantasy game that was Demon's Souls which was exclusive to the ps3. After the succes of the game they created a whole genre that we call "souls like" and the whole thing snowballed into Elden Ring. Exclusives and competition are important in my humble opinion. No competition is bad for the customers.

Game Pass has always been a shitty deal. Cancelled that garbage after my 1st month. Still think I overpaid with my $1.

I don’t understand why so many pc gamers have such a hateboner for consoles. I’m a pc players but also have all the console. I actually perfer sitting on my couch and playing rather then kbm but not everybody can afford a steam controller that isn’t made anymore. The value of the series s with gamepass is insane. Especially for casual gamers. That’s what being overlooked. They don’t have the exclusives sure but a casual gamer doesn’t drop 70 on every new release. For 30 a month for a year or 2 you get series s, Xbox live and gamepass and can play tooonnns of games. Cheaper for me to buy friends and family that rather then like 4 steam keys for a pc they don’t own lol

Ah, finally learned the name of that game with the cyborg guy.... Saving that for later.

What did the commenter mean with 'the tech isnt there yet'? Isnt Gforce now litteraly there? Or is he talking about other tech?

The Game Boy is not a bad example. Is a horrible example. Switch is just a name. They could have easily called it Game Boy and appear like Game Boy was still alive. I am sure Nintendo went away from the Game Boy name even before making a hybrid console because the name having the word "Boy" in it will appear less inclusive in marketing terms and didn't want to seem like they exclude girls playing on their handhelds and that is a device only for boys etc.
